"There Is a gap on Old Burnt Store Road where it just goes down to the car lanes," she said, "and I feel nervous that I'm taking the space of the car."

The city is pushing to ease that nervousness by extending the existing bicycle lane on Old Burnt Store one mile north from Gulfstream Parkway to Kismet Parkway.

"I think it is needed because of the safety reasons," said Cape resident Scott Hartley, who saw a car hit a bicyclist in front of his house a few weeks ago.

He says something needs to change as Old Burnt Store Road gets busier.

"It's a little deceiving," he said. "It's a clear stretch for miles, so people go pretty quick."

Public works personnel will present solutions to city council members on Monday.

One option would cost the city $85,000 and would include widening Old Burnt Store Road to install a dedicated northbound bicycle lane.

"I'm excited for the safety aspect of it and for the enjoyment," Sapp said. "I use that a lot and I look forward to it happening."

Not everyone, though, is in favor of a change.

"I hope they don't approve anything. Unless (the cyclists) want to contribute," Sheila Fitzsimmons said. "If they want to pay as much as I do for the tags on my car, fine. Get a tag on your bike, contribute to the taxes."
